Captain Sidney Crosby, entering his 21st NHL season, desires winning the Stanley Cup a fourth time. Center Evgeni Malkin and defenseman Kris Letang, each set for his 20th season, do too. Muse, hired June 4 as Penguins coach, gets that. But rushing won't work, he said.

Muse, a relative no-name with no connection to Pittsburgh who was hired last week to be the Penguins’ new head coach, had the opportunity to introduce himself to fans. He did very well.

New Pittsburgh Penguins coach Dan Muse says he won't be intimidated trying to lead a roster dotted with future Hall of Famers such as Sidney Crosby.
